As a child, I adored dressing up in my Gran's accessories.  At six, she taught me to spot designer vintage and thrift; during my teenage years, I fell in love with 1920s - 60s fashions and studied period designers.  In 1998, I was recruited by Dayton's Department Store to serve at their Minneapolis flagship, later acquired by Marshall Field's (of Mr. Selfridge fame).  There, I learned the ins and outs of luxury retail: extraordinary customer service, merchandising and display.


 After we were sold to Macy's, I migrated to Los Angeles.  Just blocks away from Paramount Pictures, I worked for Hollywood's iconic Studio Wardrobe Department.  There, I handled props and "b wardrobe" sales, learned to window dress and met captivating people of all walks of life.  Returning home at the end of the season, I accepted an offer from Neiman Marcus, then followed a co-worker to Banana Republic. Following thirteen years with the company, the pandemic permanently padlocked our location, so I began a new chapter and opened my own online boutique!

 

Collectible brands you'll find on BITS & BOBS are: Anson, Barbie, Betsy Johnson, Boucher, Coro, Coventry, Levin, Lisner, Monet, Swank, Trifari, Weiss and more.  Also, all merchandise is carefully polished, steam cleaned and/or sanitized.  Last, as Gran taught me, I drive a barbarous bargain to bring you fashionable finds and future investments at an affordable price. 

Come take a peek!
Love,
Brooke
